Also, the Rout Vinhovens’ theory of life quality and Jamil Saba’s viewpoint about social justice were used. The unit of analysis is young people who live in Tehran. A questionnaire made after review of validity and reliability with cluster random sampling in five regions of Tehran and among the 385 young people.
